"Plot Outline: A Japanese investigator (Morita) and a Detroit cop (Leno) team up to track down a stolen prototype turbocharger."

Oh yes.

Still, this will always hold a special place in my heart.

My friend bought it in high school for the case, but decided that watching it would destroy its kitsch value, so we hit upon a solution that would allow us to see it without ruining the mystery. I've watched it twice and I still have no idea what goes on, except that within the first five minutes, a border patrol agent gets vaporized, leaving behind only a pair of smoking loafers.

Ah, so *that's* what that movie was! I saw a bit of it on Chinese state television about a week ago. I wish this thread had popped up just a few days earlier, or I would have bothered to watch the whole thing.

Still, you get some pretty fantastic old-school Hong Kong movies over here. So far the best one I've seen is Aces Go Place 2

This reminds me, my school does live broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera some weekends, and yesterday I found out that a month or two ago, I missed Patrick Stewart as Macbeth.

Patrick Stewart was actually a recognized Shakespearian actor long before he did star trek.

I know, but that's not how I think of him, since that's not where I first saw him.

I've seen Hercules in New York. Arnold is billed as "Arnold Strong" and they dub over his voice.
It's even better/worse than you can imagine.

Word is, on the DVD you can get listen to the undubbed version, and he's nearly incomprehensible.
